BBJ kicked off the SLC Dunk game thread today with a Princess Bride-themed image, and even though it was posted early on, this comment by @theshums summed up the night real well:

I’ll let Jerry (who appeared to be so disgusted by the Jazz’s “effort” that he headed to the locker room as soon as the halftime buzzer sounded, rather than waiting on the court as he usually does to slap players’ hands) wrap this up (KFAN audio):** “It looked like we weren’t interested. I hate to say that, but I have to be honest about it. I think you have to be interested in wanting to win, and not looking for excuses to be tired.”** “We never competed at all. They shot in our face to start the ballgame…we just tried to guard them with our head and that’s not good enough.”*
